The harrowing scenes in the snowy Ardennes Forest during the Band of Brothers “Bastogne” episode are even more astonishing than they appear.
Episode 6 of the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers takes place in the Ardennes Forest around the town of Bastogne, a setting filmed in an unconventional way. The harrowing events that transpire are seen through the eyes of U.S. Army combat medic Eugene Roe who is tasked with treating the men of Easy Company during the famed Battle of the Bulge, Germany’s last-ditch offensive aimed at splitting the advancing Allied forces in two during the winter of 1944-45.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Bastogne is a Belgian town perched atop a ridge in the Ardennes Forest. Known for its extensive forests and rough terrain, the Ardennes proved a challenging obstacle in what would become the largest and deadliest battle for the United States during World War II. To make matters worse, the area experienced one of the coldest winters on record during the Battle of the Bulge that included freezing rain, snow, and dense layers of fog.
The dense forest was recreated indoors using real and artificial trees, the latter of which could be blown apart to simulate German shelling. Some artificial trees consisted of a fiberglass, hemp, and latex mixture while others were foam with a cardboard tubs core to keep them weighed down.
How CGI Enhanced Band Of Brothers' Bastogne Scenes The miniseries prides itself on authenticity, meaning practical effects and real props and equipment are employed wherever possible. However, Computer-Generated Imagery is used in episode 6 for one of the excursions outside the Ardennes to depict an airborne resupply to the besieged troops at Bastogne. The CG parachutes and C-47 planes are tracked into a shot of the battered town.
It wasn’t just the Band of Brothers crew who had their work cut out for them in recreating the Ardennes Forest indoors. On top of portraying paralyzing fear in the face of death, the actors were tasked with conveying the body-numbing chills of freezing temperatures and soggy snow while actually treading through paper shreds inside an airplane hangar.
